Abstract
In the past there have been many examples of both computer systems and manufacturing systems which have delivered less than they promised. Frequently, the fault is due to inadequate specification of the system at the outset (Carrie, 1990). Too often aspects of the system, which it is known will need to be addressed at some time have been left over until later. At the commissioning stage it may be found that they are critical to the specification and efficient operation of the system. The result is that either the efficiency of the system is compromised throughout its life, or can only be achieved through additional expenditure which was not budgeted for at the start of the project.
